Simple Pleasures #18
Last spring I decided to buy a microwave. I hadn't owned one, by choice, for five years, but I decided I really wanted the convenience again.
I am so happy I did because I use it on a daily basis. I want my microwave to last a long time and I want it to be clean and clean smelling.
I have found that one of the best ways to accomplish that is cleaning with lemons. It gets the microwave nice and shiny and smells great too.
I am now going to tackle the rest of my apartment. I have asked for an elf on the shelf cleaning fairy that comes into my apartment at night and cleans it all up, but I can't seem to find one.

Favorite Gluten-Free Recipe This Week
I can't remember exactly when I tasted my first bite of carrot cake, but what I can tell you is I fell in love.
When I came across this gluten-free version I of course was hooked.
This is not an overly sweet recipe, so the cream cheese frosting adds just the right amount of sweetness.

Glad to see the vaccine protectors on your shopping faves! Mine arrived yesterday. I, too, can't wait for the Beatles special. If you are successful in finding that cleaning fairy, let me know. I want one, too - but I also require that they prepare dinners :)
